All debts contracted and engagements entered into, before the adoption of this Constitution, shall be as valid against the United States under this Constitution, as under the Confederation.

This Constitution, and the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof; and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land; and the judges in every state shall be bound thereby, anything in the Constitution or laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding.

The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the members of the several state legislatures, and all executive and judicial officers, both of the United States and of the several states, shall be bound by oath or affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States.

c. 1600, “a name” (a sense now obsolete), from French nomenclature (16c.), from Latin nomenclatura “calling of names,” from nomenclator “namer,” from nomen “name” (from PIE root *no-men- “name”) + calator “caller, crier,” from calare “call out” (from PIE root *kele- (2) “to shout”).

Nomenclator in Rome was the title of a steward whose job was to announce visitors, and also of a prompter who helped a stumping politician recall names and pet causes of his constituents. Meaning “systematic list or catalogue of names” is attested from 1630s; that of “system of naming” is from 1660s; sense of “whole vocabulary or terminology of an art or a science” is from 1789. Related: Nomenclative; nomenclatorial; nomenclatural.

formerly also endict, c. 1300, enditen, inditen, “bring formal charges against (someone); accuse of a crime,” from Anglo-French enditer “accuse, indict, find chargeable with a criminal offense” (late 13c.), Old French enditier, enditer “to dictate, write, compose; (legally) indict,” from Vulgar Latin *indictare “to declare, accuse, proclaim in writing,” from in- “in” (from PIE root *en “in”) + Latin dictare “to declare, dictate,” frequentative of dicere “to say, speak” (from PIE root *deik- “to show,” also “pronounce solemnly”).

Retained its French pronunciation after the spelling was re-Latinized c. 1600.  Later 14c. non-legal senses “write, compose (a poem, etc.); dictate” have gone with the older form, endite, indite (q.v.). The sense is perhaps partly confused with Latin indicare “to point out.” In classical Latin, indictus meant “not said, unsaid” (from in- “not”). Related: Indictable; indicted; indicting.
